Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course. Each of our online courses is broken down into concise units that focus on specific areas of English language teaching.

 

The unit fourteen on course books and lesson materials is quite self-explanatory, we are shown the good usage that a teacher may have by using the course books he is given and also we understand that there is no need to be too rigid about following exactly the course books that a teacher needs to improvise and change to create some sort of rhythm, to adapt to the needs of the class and other times the teacher may follow the course book.In this unit The importance of productive skills was highlighted. The intricacies of the English language was shown and the vast differences between it and foreign languages was noted. Precautions were given to avoid some common pitfalls and ways to encourage students who are reluctant to speak in the classroom. This unit also gives ample examples and tools to successfully carry out lessons involving the practice of productive skills.
